Hello, all! My name is Ben, and I'm a board game designer new to the scene. I've been designing board games for quite some time, but I know I've reached a point that in order to improve, I need to seek out the help of others. I've been looking at BGDF for some time, along with other websites (BGG for instance), and am finally ready to get started improving my "game", so to speak. ;) I am hoping to learn from all of you who have so much more experience, currently, than I have.

I live in Southern California, attending Chapman University in Orange. I have recently begun focusing on board game design, and realized it has become what I want to do with my career, more than just a hobby or pastime. My buddy and I are launching a startup to bring a few unique (ideally) ideas to the board game market. It's exciting, but there's so much that I know I'm unaware of. I look forward to interfacing with all of you on this forum, and anywhere else I may find you.

This is my second attempt at posting, the first time, the internet kicked me off, so if I doublepost, go ahead and delete the first.

A startup?

Hey Ben - nice to meet you!

I am also very new to board game design - at the moment, it is currently a hobby rather than a career.

When you say a start-up, do you mean a proper game board publishing company? If so, are you only creating and publishing your games, or looking for some other ideas?

I have several game ideas, and have created a prototype for some of them. My issue in producing and publishing is funds. Would you be interested in collaborating/producing games for other designers?

Cheers!

Chris

I have the same questions

Hi Ben,

My name is Chris(as well) and I am at the point were I am looking to make my BG designs commercially viable. Are you looking at starting a design studio or a publishing company? Either way, I would be interested in collaboration in whatever way you and your buddy would like to collaborate. I have a few games in prototype stage and many many games in the "index card" phase. Would be happy to get more in depth with current projects if your are interested in hearing them.

Thanks,

Chris

also new

Hi there, Ben! I'm new to BGDF, too, and also looking forward to some good conversation and feedback.

Just out of curiosity, what are you studying there at Chapman?
